Some things to take away from this.
- Has never been on a staff that took an offensive lineman in the first round.
- His staffs have never been afraid to double or triple up on a position if they felt it was a need.

Any other trends you see? Things this tells you?

I'll see if I can discern more from this, but I wanted to get this out to you all before I went to sleep._________________- Best since day one -

Looking at this, if history is an indicator, it really doesn't change what we thought we know. It's still Geno vs pass rusher/DL. O-line seems out of the question, as those have typically been round 2-7 picks. And of course the value at RT/G isn't there anyway. They've been fond of playmakers (RB/WR), but there isn't one worth the pick at RB, or one that we would need at WR.

Obviously we know that in 2 out of the 3 stops he's been at, their first pick with him on the staff has been a top 3 pick on a QB (didn't have that type of pick in Carolina). He's only ever had one other top 5 pick, used on Edgerrin James the year after they drafted Peyton.

I'd almost expect at this point that we double (possibly triple) up on one of DE/LB/CB.

I think history kinda lends itself to this pick being Geno, but I think a pass rusher, where we get a RE at #2 and then spend a 3rd/4th on a LEO is still really likely.

Welp, I guess that dodn't do much. _________________- Best since day one -

It's certainly interesting and worth looking at. But as you mentioned, without him being necessarily in charge of, or even involved in a lot of that...i think it's gonna be tough to really infer trends like whether or not he will go QB at #2 from that. I mean, especially when you consider one of those is Peyton Manning. That's kind of a...well yeah, obviously._________________

While I wouldn't take it as gospel, you'd think after 17 years of honing his craft under these systems, and being very, very successful in that model, that's one he's likely to continue to employ. At worst, it gives us the pedigree in which he's been bred from.

The pick for Manning could have easily been Ryan Leaf, according to many.

But yes, in the end this could be nothing more than a grain of salt if he acts differently. But with so little known, it's nice to have something as a "known" or that at least seems that way right now._________________- Best since day one -

Yeah. It's certainly at least as informative as the alternative...that being...a complete crapshoot.

I think the biggest thing to take from it, is that he is fairly adaptable for the most part. And willing to take value where it lies, in addition to what we already know about him being something of a 'needs drafter'._________________

In 2008 while with the Falcons he took a 1st round LT. That 2008 class is crazy good, if we can duplicate that type of success we'll be contending in no time._________________2nd place in Jaguars forum USJJC 2012

I'm going to blame that on how tired I was. I guess we revise that to never taken any non-LT in the first round, and never taken one of those before pick 20 (which is somewhat unfair because I think most of their picks have been post-20.

But yeah, I've been saying that since the first wave of "draft Geno" came around back in the middle of the season. If you get your Matt Ryan level quarterback (whether that's Gabbert with immense improvement, Geno, Tyler Wilson or someone next year), and you hit on rounds 2-4 with high impact players, you can turn a roster around fast. I think there's enough talent in the mid rounds to make that type of draft possible. The only problem I foresee with this quick turnaround potential is that we may be letting our FAs walk. That could rise is from needing 1-2 really good drafts to turn it around to needing 2-4. But that all really depends on which positions you end up hitting on._________________- Best since day one -
